Peshawar White Poppy

SKU:

per item

The beauty of a swan in the garden. These ephemeral, pure white blooms are exquisite. Given room and fertile, well-drained soil, each plant puts up several long slender stems, each with a 3"-6" poppy swaying in the breeze. Petals fall quickly, to reveal large pods full of white seeds. Plant in a group, thinned to 12" apart for a lovely display in spring.The seeds are mild and delicious for food or oil. Historic variety from the Peshawar region of Pakistan, just over the border from Afghanistan, at one end of the famous Khyber Pass. 200 seeds


Like other somniferum poppies, these need cool soil and light for germination. Prepare a bed with good fertility and fine texture. Tamp the surface, scatter the seed, and rake in very lightly. Thin to 18"-24" apart; crowded plants will be stunted, so allow adequate space.
